In an interview with Laura Ingraham, Sen. John Thune - one of the original conservative elite heartthrobs earlier this year until he opted against a run - said Mitt Romney needs to go further than he has when it comes to the Massachusetts health care plan.

"Would you advise Mitt Romney to say something different today on RomneyCare than he has?" Ingraham asked.

"Well, I think it would be great, I suppose if he would come out and, I mean I think there are a lot of people who over the years who have, since this thing passed in Massachusetts, have looked at it and said gosh I wish he would come out and then disown it or disavow it," Thune said. "It doesn’t sound like he is going to do that."

When Ingraham pressed, asking, "Should he?" Thune answered, "Well, frankly, I would like to see that, but I am not advising the campaign."
